About Jesse S. Ko

I’m currently a Senior Spacecraft Battery Engineer with over a decade of experience in electrochemistry, battery engineering, and operando/in-situ synchrotron characterization. My background spans advanced energy storage technologies including Li-ion, Na-ion, multivalent batteries, and fuel cells. I lead research on real-time characterization of electrochemical processes, bridging fundamental science with practical applications. I now focus on designing and qualifying high-performance battery systems for space missions, such as NASA Dragonfly, applying deep technical expertise to meet the demands of space power systems.
